Re: Fire & Evacuation Safety

Many fire alarms have been set off by burnt or smoky food. Please be attentive to your culinary activities. Do not prop your door open while cooking as it can cause hall smoke detectors and the whole building’s alarms to go off. Due to the serious nature of fire safety, we have instituted a $50 fine for persons who activate building-wide alarms when window ventilation would have prevented the incident.

If your cooking sets off the building’s alarms:

1. Notify the building’s Information Center to alert the staff of the situation. This will help the Fire Department locate the source of the alarm, and will shorten the time the fire bells ring.

2. Exit the building according to the procedures outlined in the resident handbook. Remember to dress appropriately to brave the outdoor elements. Also, you must exit using one of the fire stairwells: All elevators become immediately inoperative once the alarm sounds.

If you do not report the cause and your apartment is found to be the source of an alarm, you may be fined considerably. Please also remember that open flames and candles are not permitted in Sansom Place and that halogen lamps must be handled with safety and kept away from curtains.
